The Boxer requires very little grooming, and it can easily be done by the owner. Nails must be trimmed regularly unless naturally worn down on a hard surface. You should make a habit of touching your boxer's feet so if you do need to trim nalis or get vet attention your dog will readily approve of his feet being touch. Ears should be kept clean and checked weekly for any foul smells, redness or dark waxy material which is usally a sign of earmites and infections. Seek vet assistance if you suspect any of these signs or your boxer whins when you clean his ears. An occasional brushing with a soft curry brush and/or bath should suffice, the Boxer has a natural tendency to keep himself clean. His short coat does not usually attract alot of dirt. The boxer is an average shedder and should be brushed once weekly or whenever necessary to remove dirt or dead hair from the coat. We use and recommend a rubber curry brush which helps to remove dead hair and cut down on shedding.It also brings out the natural shine in the coat. Brushing your dog is a great way to bond with him and to gain his trust as long as your gentle about it. We prefer bathing once a month and using baby shampoo and then a light coat of baby oil after towel drying. If you bath more than that you will remove the natural oils from the coat and cause dry flaky skin, thats what the baby oil is for to replenish the natural oils in the coat lost during bathing. Tartar may have to be removed from the teeth periodically, especially as the Boxer grows older. You should learn to clean the teeth yourself, or use the services of your veterinarian.
